About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Bernie’s Automotive, customers often noticed an odd occurrence late at night. Whenever a delivery driver left their truck in the lot, their dog would start barking uncontrollably for no apparent reason. One night, a delivery driver named Mike left his truck and saw his usually quiet Labrador frantically howling. Confused, he asked Bernie what it meant. ‘Oh,’ Bernie chuckled, ‘that’s just your dog saying hello to mine.’ Turns out, both dogs were long-lost pals from puppyhood.
2. At Bernie’s Automotive, a regular once found something peculiar on the workshop floor one morning. Among the usual tools and parts lay a tiny, perfectly folded origami crane. Curious, he picked it up and noticed a small note attached: ‘Thanks for fixing my brakes!’ Turned out, a delivery driver had left it as a thank-you gift. Since then, every now and then, someone would leave an origami animal—all signed anonymously with just ‘Bernie’s Friend.’
3. At Bernie’s Automotive, every morning around dawn, employees would notice a faint humming sound coming from the workshop. It grew louder each week until it became almost like music, drawing curious glances from passing neighbors. One day, an old delivery driver asked Bernie if he recognized that tune. Turned out it was just his old radio, stuck on a station playing classical music since the seventies. Everyone had a good laugh—except maybe the radio.
4. At Bernie’s Automotive, whenever the moon was full and the streetlights dimmed, a strange shadow seemed to follow mechanics into the garage after hours. One night, an old delivery driver asked Bernie if he’d seen anything unusual lately. Bernie shook his head, but when he looked up from under the hood, there stood a grinning shadow holding a wrench. Turns out it was just Bernie himself, taking a break from fixing cars while watching old horror movies—complete with popcorn and everything.
